Research Analytics: New Efforts

From Reactive to Strategic Decision Making

• Improve data collection
• Evaluate and implement reporting tools
• Develop and implement data quality assurance program
• Develop predictive reporting models
• Develop meaningful metrics in collaboration with campus stakeholders

Questions

• What are the right metrics to assess our strategic strengths?
• How collaborative and interdisciplinary are we?
• How do we compare to our peers and national trends?
• Where are the current opportunities and are we positioned to respond?
• How international is our research portfolio and where do growth opportunities exist?
• What is our research capacity (potential for growth)?

Research, Discovery, Artistry and Translational Goals from the Current CSU Strategic Plan #1-6

1. Grow interdisciplinary and international teaming programs and support function to foster collaborative consortia driven funding opportunities (e.g. CIP, PRSE). 2. Focus on one or more potential strategic research areas such as: Advanced Materials, Energy, One Health, Neuroscience, Water, Energy and Sustainability. 3. Increased organized and proactive communications that herald research and creative artistry. 4. Increased student learning programs and post graduate degrees awarded. 5. Diversify funding base through cross college Innovation and translational research programs to accelerate the production of intellectual property. 6. Implement digital measures and additional electronic tools for reporting, collaborating and communicating productivity and excellence in research and creative artistry.

vpr.colostate.edu

• 7. Renovate priority facilities to sustain research, creative artistry and scholarly excellence.
• 8. Increased number of new facilities to support strategic investments in research and creative artistry

excellence.

• 9. Establish and implement data and predictive analytical tools needed to support research enterprise
• 10. Increase faculty satisfaction with services, core facilities and instrumentation, faculty research and

creative artistry space, and sponsored activity.

• 11. Organize and staff sponsored activities to support future growth of research and creativity

enterprise including an office for enhanced proposal development for complex large proposal development.

• 12. Develop and execute plan to sustain foundational and emerging research and instrumentation,

research and creative artistry facilities.

For the Future vpr.colostate.edu

Programs of Research & Scholarly Excellence (PRSE) Update

vpr.colostate.edu

• 2-4 year cycle, starting with nominations, leading to 3 benefits:
• PRSE designation
• Annual VPR resource allocation (approx. $25k/yr)
• Annual grad recruitment allocation ($10k/yr)
• PRSE designation information gathering across campus
• Working with CRAD to design a revised RFP
• Potential considerations: decouple the competitive designation process

from a separate, competitive strategic funding opportunities for designees

• Feedback is welcomed
• New RFP to be launched in early 2016
